Pray for the victims of the Turkish bombing

Apparently terrorists unleashed a series of bombings at an airport in Istanbul. So far it looks as if 30 people have been killed, and perhaps more. Many others are wounded. Pray for the families and loved ones of the victims, for the victims themselves, for the authorities and the first responders and doctors and medical professionals who will work to rescue and heal the victims. And pray that God's peace enter into that area of wickedness that has expanded over so much of the world before other innocent people must die.

You'd never know it to listen to the news, but there appears to be quite the conversion explosion happening across that part of the world. Some of what is driving it is the witness of those Christians who are standing firm on their faith despite possible death and torture. The age old witness of the martyrs.

Welcome

This is a little blog of mine, just to kick around what I see going on in the world outside my window. Though primarily a blog looking at the world through Christian colored lenses, I'll touch on anything and everything, from culture and news to reflections on my own pilgrimage through the Christian Faith, to family and fun, history, vacations, movies, pets, cooking, delivery truck driving, you name it.

Anyone can comment, I'll be pretty loose about it. Just be polite, follow basic rules of good behavior pre-MTV, and unless it gets threatening, vulgar, or outright mean (and that's not just being in a disagreement), I'll let the posts stand as they are. So welcome and enjoy.
